Greetings beautiful souls! I'm Marissa.
In my wildest dreams, I never imagined that spending hours in the kitchen cooking family-sized dinners would captivate my heart. But, the truth is, I always did.
From a young age, my playground was the kitchen, where I absorbed every culinary lesson from my mother and grandmother. While other kids were engrossed in video games or Disney channel, I found solace in the Food Network and watching my grandma artfully prepare her most cherished dishes. After her passing, a fiery passion ignited within me to preserve her legacy and traditions.
Today, I proudly carry her culinary torch, infusing my own creative flair into those beloved recipes. With each creation, I embark on a culinary journey I never thought possible, propelling taste buds to new heights.

“Marissa helped me organize and put on a bridal shower for my best friend. Marissa was very detailed oriented and thorough; from helping put together the menu to center pieces and photo back drops. Marissa made sure all our questions were answered and our ideas came to life. The day of the event Marissa and her team were professional and timely. The food and drink preparation were immaculate. Everything was labeled and inviting. There was even music to fit the occasion! I look forward to having Marissa organize other events in my life.”
"Great food for a family event! ...We were all from out of town and she worked with us to meet all of our requests. We needed food to meet a variety of diets and we couldn't have too much leftover since we were leaving the next day. The food was delicious! She came ahead to set the food up and also stayed through the first part of the event to keep things replenished so we could all visit and enjoy our event. Marissa was also very prompt with her communication. You can't go wrong using her for your next event! Highly recommend her brisket too!"
Cocina Ascensión made our my daughter's celebration of life truly special and memorable. Their heartfelt approach to catering was evident in every dish they served. From the beautifully presented appetizers to the comforting main courses, each bite felt like a warm embrace during a difficult time. Marissa and her team took the time to understand our preferences and created a menu that perfectly captured the essence of my daughter. The food not only nourished our bodies but also touched our souls. We are immensely grateful for their care, attention to detail, and the delicious flavors that brought comfort and joy to our gathering. Thank you, Cocina Ascensión, for making this day a cherished tribute to Maria's life.
